Use Me

[Intro] Phone lights up the bedroom black

Your name burns white, I stare at that

Midnight city, engine cold

I know the story before it's told

You don't miss me

You miss the car

You don't want me

Just where you are

[Hook]

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

I want you but you just use me

Keep me waiting outside

You touch me like you choose me

Then leave me at the light

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

[Verse 1]

You say "baby" when you need rides

I leave dinner, pull up outside

You kiss me, then change the song

I miss my turn, you sing along

Streetlights crawl across your face

I drive slow just to stretch the space

Drop you off, you don't look back

Still park close in case you ask

Your perfume stays inside the seat

Like something dead that still smells sweet

I watch your window lose its light

Then take the long way home at night

[Pre-Chorus]

Every red light says don't go

Every green light says I know

You only love me in between

Where you are and where you've been

[Hook]

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

I want you but you just use me

Keep me waiting outside

You touch me like you choose me

Then leave me at the light

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

[Verse 2]

Next call, I let it ring

Type "I'm coming," clear the screen

You send "baby," then a pin

I stay home. You call again

Play your voice note, just the start

Stop before the favor part

Hear you laugh behind the noise

Like you already know my choice

Keys are sitting by the door

I tell myself not anymore

Your little heart lights up my phone

I let it die there all alone

Then three dots bloom

Then disappear

Funny how silence sounds so clear

[Pre-Chorus]

Every red light says don't go

Every green light says I know

You only love me when you need

A little warmth, a little speed

[Hook]

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

I want you but you just use me

Keep me waiting outside

You touch me like you choose me

Then leave me at the light

I want you but you just use me

One kiss buys a ride

[Bridge]

So call somebody else tonight

Let somebody else run every light

Let them learn the shape of your street

Let them mistake your mouth for need

I wore your fingerprints like rings

Made holy things from empty things

Turned every favor into fate

Sat in the dark and called it faith

But love should hurt for better reasons

Not change its face with every season

Not whisper "baby" through a screen

Then vanish once it gets what it needs

[Breakdown]

No

I won't start the car

No

I won't ask where you are

No

You don't get inside

Not for one kiss

Not for one night

Not for one more ride

[Instrumental / Guitar Break]

[Final Hook]

I want you but you just use me

One kiss bought every ride

I wanted you to choose me

You just kept me outside

You touched me like you loved me

Only long enough to lie

I want you but you just use me

And I finally know why

I want you

But I won't move

I want you

But I've got nothing left to prove

You can call me

You can try

One kiss doesn't buy a ride

[Outro]

Phone lights up the bedroom black

Your name burns white

I don't call back

Engine cold

Keys inside

One kiss doesn't buy a ride

One kiss doesn't buy a ride

One kiss doesn't buy a ride
